  • Publication number: 20240325655
    Abstract: A drug delivery device has a housing with a longitudinal axis, a dose setting member actuatable by a user and rotatable around the longitudinal axis to set a dose to be delivered by the drug delivery device, a piston rod that is configured to be axially advanced in a proximal direction to deliver the set dose, and a dosing member for defining the axial advancement of the piston rod upon delivery of the set dose. The dosing member is axially movable along the longitudinal axis and rotationally movable around the longitudinal axis during dose setting, and the dosing member is rotationally fixed to the dose setting member during dose setting. The dosing member comprises a maximum dose stop that is configured to engage with a maximum stop feature provided at the housing to limit movement of the dosing member with respect to the housing upon setting a maximum dose.

  • Publication number: 20240307629
    Abstract: A drug delivery device with a housing configured to connect to a dispensing unit includes a compartment containing a fluid, a piston rod configured to move in a proximal direction for ejecting the fluid, and a dosing mechanism comprising an actuation member to be actuated by a user. The device includes a conversion mechanism configured to convert a movement of the actuation member to a movement of the piston rod. The conversion mechanism includes a dose selector member, which is rotationally fixed to the housing and axially movable with respect to the housing, and a dosing member, which is rotationally movable with respect to the dose selector member. The drug delivery device includes a friction reduction mechanism provided between the dose selector member and the dosing member to reduce friction between the dose selector member and the dosing member.
